This is an appreciation post for Oscars Best Feature Film Nominee, the number 7th, Room (2016).
Every once in a while in English-speaking world, a courageous director comes up with an audacious project that blows your mind away and you just couldn't fathom what you really experienced. These words might sound hollow if I am going to describe the authenticity of Room (2015). Whatever I shall be writing hereafter shall in no way do justice to the brilliance of this movie and I cannot possibly come up with any more adjectives to ornament it for they all would fall short. So let me narrate you the experiences of my fellow colleagues who are more popular, widely read and certainly more accomplished than me:
Rotten Tomatoes: Led by incredible work from Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay, Room makes for an unforgettably harrowing – and undeniably rewarding – experience.
Richard Roeper (Chicago Sun-Times) : The most impressive piece of filmmaking I've seen in 2015, and one of the best movies of the decade.
Wall-Street Journal - This drama is as big as all outdoors in scope; poetic and profound in its exploration of the senses; blessed with two transcendent performances, by Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay; and as elegantly wrought as any film that has come our way in a very long while.
Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) - All you need to know is that the performances of Larson and Tremblay will blow you away. Tremblay is a child actor incapable of a false move.
Room is a one-of-a-kind, must-see experience and it's nothing sort of astonishing to watch. It is an ode to the bond between mother and child. After watching Room, you shall feel that this world of ours has become a bit bigger and brighter. Just like Boyhood (2014) of Richard Linklater who held its audience and critics in a state of trance, Room (2015) too shall never let you go away. It will only grow on you and keep growing on until you feel a pain in your chest and tears in your eyes. And since these movies seldom get made, It's a plea from me that you must stand witness to it. All else has already been said above and believe me, they still tell too little.
